Abstract: A system may measure the virality of content items on a network. The virality may be measured for Internet content using indices. Indices may be generated that represent the share or news worthiness of content. An indexer may monitor the content items and generate a score which may be used to identify which content items are most likely to receive a user access request or referral from the remote server. A logic generator may display visual elements as graphical representations of the index score.

Abstract translation: 系统可以测量网络上内容项的病毒性。 可以使用指数来衡量互联网内容的病毒性。 可能会产生代表内容的份额或新闻值的指标。 索引器可以监视内容项目并生成可用于识别哪些内容项最有可能从远程服务器接收用户访问请求或引用的分数。 逻辑生成器可以将视觉元素显示为索引得分的图形表示。

Abstract: Techniques are provided which facilitate mobile applications displaying advertisements on a larger screen space without worrying about screen clutter or interference with application functionality. Motion events are triggered once a computerized device detects a threshold magnitude of tilt along a first, second, and/or third coordinate axis. A graphical display is presented to the user which includes at least one advertisement. Several embodiments of the graphical display include a three-dimensional object and full-screen display which are maintained so long as a magnitude of tilt of the computerized device is detected.

Abstract: Many users may plan meetings through social networks, email, and/or websites. As provided herein, a user may efficiently plan a meeting with other users through a map interface. For example, the user may identify a location of interest on a map, and choose one or more target users to receive an automatically generated location of interest message about meeting at the location of interest. The location of interest message may comprise text describing the location of interest (e.g., I am at the back table at the Steak Grill, I am near the library sign on the corner of West St. and East St., etc.), directions to an event at the location of interest, instructions about the event, a location of the event, a time of the event, etc.

Abstract translation: 许多用户可以通过社交网络，电子邮件和/或网站来规划会议。 如本文所提供的，用户可以通过地图界面有效地计划与其他用户的会议。 例如，用户可以在地图上识别感兴趣的位置，并且选择一个或多个目标用户接收关于在感兴趣的位置的会议的自动产生的兴趣消息位置。 兴趣消息的位置可以包括描述感兴趣的位置的文本（例如，我在牛排烤架的后台，我在西圣和东圣角的角落附近的图书馆标志等），方向 在感兴趣的位置的事件，关于事件的指示，事件的位置，事件的时间等。

Abstract: A search-based email client may incorporate a number of useful features. A search function can default to a search of all email contexts, thereby eliminating user cogitation over which context an email message may be stored in. Furthermore, the search function can automatically search for related personal content and/or related information on the internet or other computer network, and present this useful information to the user in addition to the returned emails. The search function can be integrated into a user interface to allow for one-click searches on any likely search field. The search function can search the body of email messages by default, thereby widening the scope of default searches and eliminating potentially missed information and user need to proactively widen their search. A search function can search attachments, which also provides a wider search scope.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for efficiently identifying relevant product images based on product items detected in a query image. In general, a query image may represent a digital image in any format that depicts a human body and one or more product items. For example, a query image may be an image for display on a webpage, an image captured by a user using a camera device, or an image that is part of a media content item, such as a frame from a video. Product items may be detected in a query image by segmenting the query image into a plurality of image segments and clustering one or more of the plurality image segments into one or more image segment clusters. The resulting image segments and image segment clusters may be used to search for visually similar product images.

Abstract translation: 提供了基于在查询图像中检测到的产品项目来有效地识别相关产品图像的技术。 通常，查询图像可以表示描绘人体和一个或多个产品项目的任何格式的数字图像。 例如，查询图像可以是用于在网页上显示的图像，由使用相机设备的用户捕获的图像，或作为诸如来自视频的帧的媒体内容项的一部分的图像。 可以通过将查询图像分割成多个图像片段并将多个图像片段中的一个或多个聚类成一个或多个图像片段群集来在查询图像中检测产品项目。 所得到的图像段和图像段聚类可用于搜索视觉上相似的产品图像。

Abstract: A method comprises receiving a search request to search a bookmark package database storing bookmarks and tag information, e.g., user-generated keywords; using the search request to search the tag information in the bookmark package database to locate relevant bookmarks and to generate search results; and presenting the search results to a user. The search results may identify user-specific relevant bookmarks, and/or relevant bookmarks regardless of the creator. The method may include determining related terms and enabling selection of the related terms to initiate additional searching. The method may include generating a relevance value based on keyword order, meta-information type, number of bookmarks to a given content item, number of hits on a given bookmark, time of last bookmarking to a given content item, and/or content analysis. Search result organization may be based on the relevance values. The bookmark package database may further store automatically generated and user-generated meta-information.

Abstract: Complex devices, software systems, and/or networks may comprise one or more subsystems that perform periodic tasks. A first task may be assigned a first execution frequency and a second task may be assigned a second execution frequency that is not an alias of the first execution frequency (e.g., assignment of execution intervals that are non-overlapping harmonics of each other, such as non-repeating frequencies). A first resource utilization by the first task may be distinguished from a second resource utilization of the second task based upon the first resource utilization corresponding to resource utilization (e.g., network usage, processor usage, power consumption, user access, etc.) associated with the first execution frequency and the second resource utilization corresponding to resource utilization associated with the second execution frequency. Thus, resource utilization of individual tasks of various subsystems and/or networks may be determined.

Abstract translation: 复杂设备，软件系统和/或网络可以包括执行周期性任务的一个或多个子系统。 可以为第一任务分配第一执行频率，并且可以向第二任务分配不是第一执行频率的别名的第二执行频率（例如，分配彼此不重叠的谐波的执行间隔，例如 非重复频率）。 基于与资源利用相关联的资源利用（例如，网络使用，处理器使用，功耗，用户访问等）的第一资源利用，第一任务的第一资源利用可以与第二任务的第二资源利用区分开 对应于与第二执行频率相关联的资源利用的第一执行频率和第二资源利用。 因此，可以确定各个子系统和/或网络的各个任务的资源利用。

Abstract: Method and system for advertisement coordination through online bidding are provided. In one example, a first bid request is received with respect to a first advertisement opportunity. A first advertisement is determined in accordance with the first advertisement opportunity. A first online bid associated with the first advertisement is generated based on the first bid request. The first online bid is transmitted as a response to the first bid request. A second bid request is received with respect to both the first advertisement opportunity and a second advertisement opportunity. The first and second advertisement opportunities are related to an online service. A second advertisement is determined in accordance with the second advertisement opportunity. A second online bid associated with both the first advertisement and the second advertisement is generated. The second online bid is transmitted as a response to the second bid request.

Abstract: Users may have a variety of photos, but lack a mechanism to organize the photos. For example, a user may desire to access a photo of a child in front of a national monument, but may be unable to locate the photo amongst the photos. Accordingly, a photo query may be generated utilizing a photo query interface populated with a face query attribute (e.g., a proxy icon, a photo of a face, etc.), a face position attribute (e.g., a position of the face query attribute), and/or a location query attribute (e.g., a background of a photo, such as a forest, a monument, etc.) using drag and drop functionality and/or any other query construction functionality. One or more photos having attributes corresponding to the photo query may be identified and provided to the user.

Abstract translation: 用户可能会有各种各样的照片，但缺乏组织照片的机制。 例如，用户可能希望访问国家纪念碑前面的孩子的照片，但是可能无法在照片中定位照片。 因此，可以利用填充有面部查询属性（例如，代理图标，面部照片等）的照片查询界面，面部位置属性（例如，面部查询属性的位置）生成照片查询 ）和/或位置查询属性（例如，照片的背景，例如森林，纪念碑等）使用拖放功能和/或任何其他查询构造功能。 可以识别具有与照片查询相对应的属性的一个或多个照片，并将其提供给用户。
